ABSTRACT

T h e Mystery of Tem and Turn, or Atum Iu and Atum Ra, and a later evolution of the same under the name of Har-Makhu and the Double Equinox, was known to St. Paul, who was a master of the secret wisdom. The doctrine concerning Turn, or Atum-Harmachis, is well stated by him, only it has been rendered as metaphrastic. The two Atums, or Atum and Nefer-Atum are replaced by the first and second Adam, as the man of earth, and the man from heaven. The second Atum was “ he who is our peace,” with the title of Iu-em-hetep. This, as the second Horus, was “ he who made both one ” and " broke down the middle wall of partition ” “ that he might create in himself of the twain one new man.” “ The middle wall of partition ” is a figure in the eschatology of that which was a fact in the equinoctial mythos. (Eph. ii, 14, 15.)

The doctrine of the incarnation and the resurrection, brought on from the Stellar, was established in the Solar Cult, under the phase of Fatherhood, the Horus of the double equinox. Horus the child in one equinox, who was Horus the adult in the other, constituted the double Harmachis, one as the founder and one as the fulfiller, one as Horus of the incarnation, the other as Horus of the resurrection. The doctrine was at first depicted as Solar, mythologically, and next Eschatological.
